more Alfalfa.

The growing demand for alfalfa
hay in this section renders it imper-
alive that the acreage should be
greatly increased. Farmers are not
slow to take advantage of a good
market, and next season the crop
of this nutritious article will be
greater than ever before, at least,
90 far as acreage is concerned.
Already the work OF clearing has
commenced, and rocky sagcbrush
lands of today will be waving with
alfalfa next Summer.

Stealing Pasturage

OF late parties who were unwill-
ing to provide proper nutriment for
their horses, have hit on the idea of
pasturing them in the Capitol
square over night. The Janitor
finds the square the resort of q lot
of half-starved horses which are
trying to fatten ON the public crib.
Orders have been given to send all
such to the public pound and in flu
ture this dodge to secure free pas
turage will be promptly squelched.

The interest excited in the new
forage plant brought to public no.
tice by the APPEAL, is growing rap
idly. 1t is being discussed by the
journals of the coast and the AP-
PEAL receives a large correspond
ence daily from people who wish to
know where the seed can be had.
MIR. Herman Springmeyer, the
rancher who first introduced it, tells
the writer that he sometimes gets
over a dozen letters a day from
people who want seed.
For the benefit of those, who are
too numerous to open a regular cor
respondence with, the APPEAL will
state that the seed can be obtained
for about 2 cents a pound in Ger
many. We are not posted on the
cost of the transportation to this
country.
Yesterday Mr.. Springmeyer sent
the APPEAL Office a specimen of the
plant. 1t was a thick, bunchy
plant with long heavy leaves. 1t
was something like alfalfa in np-
pearance but had more substance,
the leaves being thicker. A root
about the size of a lead pencil ex-
tended from the plant about six
inches when it suddenly became
smaller, and from this root numer-
GUS long, thin roots radiate. The
tap root was nearly foot long. The
foliage of the plant was about five
inches and came from seed planted
last Summer in dry ground where
no moisture reached during the
Summer. The plant was still
green and had not suffered from the
frost.

Yesterday's Game i'm the SUI
preme Court Rooms.


The famous faro case of Storey
was on the docks yesterday in the
Supreme Courtroom.
The janitor had prepared every
thing with the greatest care for the
licensed upstairs game. The long
tables constituting the layout were
arranged in the morning, and by. 10
O'Clock everything was in readiness
for the game to open.'
Judge Leonard took his place be-
hind the box, Judges Hawley and
Belknap both sat on the lookout,
and Charlie Bicknell acted as case
keeper.
Messrs. Patterson and Gregory,
of Storey county, were in front,
along with Deal and Stone, who
handled the chips, and Messrs.
Hufaker and Alexander were also
there, playing up to the limit in be-
half of the Sheriff of Storey.
The attorneys were high rollers,
and had large piles of chips on the
table in the shape. of reports and
law books. The bank had a whole
library in reserve, and without any
preliminary shuttle of the cards
Leonard began to deal. Stone laid
down some Arkansas reports, which
the dealer Iaked in, and the players
slammed down four volumes of Col
orada reports on the ace, which
Alexander and Huffaker whipsawed
and played the king to win.
There was lively tussle for the
bet, but the outsiders collared it =,
and then the law books began to
flip down on the table in a most
reckless way.
The game now got interesting,
and the APPEAL man tried to chip
in, but was ordered out by the
bouncsr. The game seemed to have
a sort of top and bottom limit, and
a man must know a great deal of
law to get in. The reporter was
froze out at once, and had to watch
the play from the corner. The
game was very interesting, and
when the lawyers tried to call the
turn on the Court the excitement
ran high.
Huffaker's attempt to steal a
sleeper belonging to Deal was
promptly rebuked.
II struck the reporter that when
so many high rollers were operat-
ing the dealer ought occasionally to
ring the bell and set 'em up, but he
did not seem disposed to do so.
There was no jingling of chimes
during the whole afternoon. If
Messrs. Belknap, Leonard and
Hawley propose to run this kind of
a game in Ormsby the public want
to know it. AS the reporter left,
Stone was stacking up pile of
New York reports on the jack and
vociferously demanding a show.
The spectators seemed to think that
the lawyers would make the bank
turn up its box in a day or SO.

0UHAoLlhAGS SAPEAV~"-NS
A young commercial traveller was rid
Ing on the cars in the vicinity OF Grand
Rapids. There were, says the Detroit
Free Press few people riding IN the same
coach with him, but he noticed very old
lady who seemed to have passed the al.
loted span Of life, aud younger woman,
tired and travel-stained and accompanied
by two peevlsh, restless little ones, who
were never still for moment.
The old lady was unattended and sat by
herself, seemingly oblivious of all her
surroundings The mother, with her chill
dren, occupied double seats. She looked
worn out from fatigue. The young man
sat comfortably in the rear of the coach
and read or amused himself with his
thoughts.
But when an opportunity came for him
TO be of service he improved it.
He closed the window for the old lady,
who feebly thanked him. He gave the
tirosome children some picture-cards to
keep them ont of mischief. He told them
stories, and gave them innumcrable
drinks of water from the tank near by
while their tired mother caught nap.
He divided an orange among them and
prepared another for the old lady, who
declared it tasted cool and grateful.
Before they reached the station where
tho young man was to leave the train,
aud while he was getting his sachel down,
the old lady beckoned him to her.
"My son. she said, in quavering voice,
III live at Grand Rapids; perhaps you
have heard of mel am the oil lady who
sent three hundred pin-cushions out to
the Soldiers Hem0 there. l am now
eighty-years old and all do is to make
! pin-cushions and give them away to de-
serving people Young man, l have
watched you, and here is your PIN
! cushion"

board, but that young man declares no

Frank Muldoon occupies cabin on his
claim three miles above Vance, w. 7. On
returning from work one night he found
that something had been in his cabin and
strewn things arouRd promscuously. he
supposed the intruder to be dog, but the
next evening on approaching the house
a panther ran out of it, taking in his
mouth side Of bacon. That night the
animal was heard by Muldoon, but not
seen. On the following day Muldoon
took his gun with him to work, leaving
the house securely fastened, but on re-
turning In the evening racket inside
was evidsnce that Mr.. Panther was at his
evening meal. Investigation showed he
had torn Off several boards from the back
of the house. Muldoon shouted to bring
him out, and in a moment his head APP
peared at the hole, when MuldoOn shot
him in the neck. The wound was fatal,
but did not cause death until the panther
had spattered his blood all over the house
nd demolished every thing in it.

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

Keep no farm hands that are not
kind to your domestic animals.
1t is bad for young trees to have
wheat, oats or clover growing about
their roots. Keep the ground clean by
the use of the hoe.
When a hot dish is to be brought
to the table covered, always have the
cover well heated, which prevents the
condensation of steam in the lid.
TO Polish Tinware: First rub with
a damp cloth, then take dry flour and
rub on with hands, afterwards rub the
flour off with an old newspaper, and
the tin will shine like new.-HouSehotd.
Delicious Breakfast Cake. One
egg, one cup of milk, two cups -four,
one and one-half tablespoonsfuls melt
ed butter, one-half teaspoonful soda,
one teaspoonful cream tartar, one
tablespoonful sugar Good Cheer
Prof L. B. Arnold says butter
keeps best, and is fresh and sweet
longer, when graduated in the churn
and freed from buttermilk by working.
1t should then be soaked in supersatur-
ated brine at 60 degrees for half an
hour, and packed at once without
working.
-Gooseberry Jam: Stew the berries
in little water, then strain through a
sieve and return to the preserving
kettle, adding three quarters of pound
of sugar to each pound of stewed fruit,
and let it boil until it will harden when
little is exposed to the air upon a
spoon.-Erchange.
Why not have hoe-handles fiat or
oval, like axe-handles? With such a
handle the workman can strike more
accurately and SO work nearer the
plants, because the hoe will not turn in
his hands. The edge will wear evenly
and the hoe last longer than with the
old round handle. The wrist is not so
soon tired nor the hands cramped with
the fiat handle. When you come to
repair the old hoes put an oval handle
in one of them. Farm Journal. VI Fl
1t is not generally best to Keep all
kinds of stock in the same pasture
field, but observing farmers have found
that it pays to change stock occasion
ally during the grass season. The idea
in doing so is that one kind of stock
may like the kind of grass that another
may not cat The sheep may eat just
what cattle or horses may leave, and
vice versa. 1t is worth taking
into consideration by those who wish
to get the most good out of their pas
tures.-St. Louis Republicans. r.
-Sleeplessness: Rise early, exercise
freely in the open air. and do not sleep
in the daytime. Eat light suppers,
and retire at a regular hour. Sponge
the body with tepid water, and rub
briskly with a coarse towel. Winter
night clothes should be made of fan
mel, sufficiently long to cover the feet
and prevent contact with cold Sheets.
Do not give child paregoric or sooth.
ing syrups for sleeplcssness or fretful-
ness. Sedatiyes should never be adj.
ministered, except by the advice of a
physician.-FGrn, Field and Stock
